1 Are Public Pension Cuts Hurting Your Ability to Recruit Workers? 2018 NCPERS Public Pension Funding Forum September 19, 2018 Diane Oakley Executive Director
2 NIRS Research on Retirement Plan Design and Workforce Public employers would attract a different labor force if they switched from DB pension plans. DBs may improve public sector productivity as employees are more likely to value work and invest more in their skills. Employee turnover would increase under DC and cash balance plans. When given a choice, public employers and employees choose to stay with DB plans. 2

12 UC Berkeley: California Teachers Are Better Off with a Pension While CalSTRS has four out of 10 new hires leave before vesting in any given year they represent less than 6 percent of the classroom teachers. 12
13 DB Pensions for New Teachers Win,Win Pensions Efficiently Serve NCES: Only 17% of the Teachers hired in left in the next 5 years. Source: National Center on Education Statistics DB plans help schools recruit and retain committed teachers. Schools benefit from teachers increasing effectiveness as they gain experience. DB pensions better address obstacles to retirement income security. 13
14 Win, Win: DB Plans Give School An Effective Recruitment & Retention Tool DB pensions create economic incentives for experience teachers to stay by deferring some compensation 14
15 92% see pensions as public pensions as recruitment tool. 1 15
16 DB Role in the Public Sector: Workforce Management Pensions enable public employers to recruit and retain quality workers. Moving to a DC design could affect recruitment, retention, productivity among this workforce. Workforce Management is important in public sector and the general public understands this. DB plans encourage efficient retirement, which is eliminates job lock when workers with DC plans cannot retire. 16

32 So, how have these reforms impacted the ability for public sector employers to attract and retain quality workers? 32
33 Two CRR studies use the private sector wages of those entering and exiting public service to measure the impact of reforms. Real Private Sector Weekly Earnings for those Entering and Leaving the Public Sector, $700 $600 $500 $400 $300 $200 $100 Leaving state/local sector to the private sector Entering state/local sector from private sector $ Source: Munnell, Alicia, Geoffrey T. Sanzenbacher, and Jean-Pierre Aubry Do Public Pensions Help Recruit and Retain High- Quality Workers? Issue in Brief. Jointly published by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College and the Center for State and Local Government Excellence. 33
34 The first study finds that plans with lower normal costs report a larger gap in the private sector wage of enterers and leavers. Effect of a 1-Percentage-Point Increase in Normal Cost on the Quality Gap 2.0% 1.5% 1.0% 1.0% 0.7% 0.4% No controls With controls 0.0% -1.0% -0.1% -0.3% -0.9% -0.9% -2.0% -3.0% -1.7% -1.5% -2.2% -2.5% Source: Munnell, Alicia, Geoffrey T. Sanzenbacher, and Jean-Pierre Aubry Do Public Pensions Help Recruit and Retain High- Quality Workers? Issue in Brief. Jointly published by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College and the Center for State and Local Government Excellence. 34
35 The second finds that, in the years following a benefit cut, the relative private sector wage of those entering public service dropped. Ratio of Public to Private Workers and Payrolls, New hires -2.9% Separators 0.5% -4% -3% -2% -1% 0% 1% Source: Quinby, Laura, Geoffrey Sanzenbacher, and Jean-Pierre Aubry How Have Pension Cuts Affected Public Sector Competitiveness?

36 Conclusion Since 2009, there has been a flurry of pension reforms. Most reform focused on new hire benefits and affected all aspects of the pension benefit formula. However, some reforms were made to current employee benefits, mostly through a reduction in the post-retirement COLA. Two studies by the CRR suggest that cuts to pension benefits will play an important role in public employers ability to attract and retain quality workers. 36
